K. 421, is IMO, one of Mozart's finest works. Full of gorgeous melodies, invention, variations (of which he was the supreme master), it makes you think of the quote by a famous violinist (I forget who), "Never have I heard so much great music in so short a time!"

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A classic of the CD era
This disc was one of the first classical discs I ever bought. Loved it then and I love it now. This version includes a extra work which is also rewarding. The Emerson String Quartet combine a strength of performance at the same time giving us subtle shades of color producing one of the supreme recordings of chamber music ever. Enthusiastic and sensitive interpretations rolled into one.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful, original, and insightful playing from one of today's finest chamber ensembles
The Emerson String Quartet does not disappoint with its contributions to the classical period of string quartets. These well-known works sound entirely fresh, while remaining stylistically delightful. This disc is wonderful from start to finish.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Crisp and commanding!
Bravo! An inspired performance of brilliant works can leave you breathless. This is one. Spirited, masterful, and exceptionally well balanced, this excellent recording reflects the passion of musician and engineer alike. Remember, too, that many great recordings of these quartets exist: To truly appreciate the classics it is essential to listen to interpretations by various artists.
